Question

task comment not validating length

Forms Layout Designer Forms Version 11

Updated March 10

asked on March 10

I use the Forms Layout Designer for forms, on prem LF Forms 11 update 5.

On the task comments, I've validated the length is max 2000 but there does not seem to be validation on the form enforcing that length, rather the comment is truncated, which is problematic for our group. I looked to see if I could validate using the rules but that does not seem to be available.

Is there any way to enforce a length limit in the Comments area? Maybe a setting I'm missing?

Because of the difficulty of using the task comment field, I usually create my own comments multi line text box which I can control and reference via its variable name.

In the Forms Designer of version 11 you can add this to the CSS to hide the task comment field

#comment-container
{
  display:none;
}

If you're using the Modern Designer, you can use a field rule to hide the built-in task comment box instead of using custom CSS.
